BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. — A fourth night of protests was underway in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, and around the nation Wednesday over the death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright after a police officer fatally shot him.
Brooklyn Center announced a curfew of 10 p.m. Wednesday. Mayor Mike Elliott urged people to protest without violence, saying “your voices have been heard" earlier in the day.
A crowd of a few hundred demonstrators had gathered outside the Brooklyn Center police headquarters for a tense night. One video showed one protester carrying the head of a fake pig on a pole near a fence outside the heavily guarded station as police monitored the crowd from the structure’s rooftop.
